Not all $997 or $1997 people are different than the $5k people.

So weird (well, not weird at all) – but I was just thinking of you right before you posted that!

Thank you so much for all the kind words! They mean a LOT and I would love to catch up with you, too!

I like the whole airplane analogy. That puts it in very “real” terms.

As far as my goals – I haven’t posted them because they’re in the process of changing, but I’m not sure to what. I’m kind of re-evaluating a lot right now. Breaking certain sales goals has lost its appeal to me and a lot of material things aren’t as appealing either (not to say I’m a “money monk” by any means… I think it’s more complacency than anything else). I’m currently salivating over some grad classes at Harvard, excited to go experience Europe/Australia, etc…

I’m hoping I get a bit of clarity as I travel. But that’s why the BIG goals haven’t been up there.

Actually, I’m starting a new mastermind for the end of September in which I make a new $10k/month income stream… I think my goal for now is basically to get that done and start taking a zillion classes. Cooking, salsa dancing, the Harvard distance learning classes, more Toastmaster’s, etc… that’d be my ultimate goal for now.

Those space shuttles sound AWESOME – what a great place to live! I’d love to take you up on that offer sometime (and thank you for it!) and like I said, would also definitely love to catch up sometime – both to hear about what’s been up with you and to finish the weight release talks!

Thanks again for the comment – it was great to hear from you!

Best,
Rach

“You ROCK!!!!!”

I’ve spent the past hour reading your blog, watching your videos, and trying to catch up on what’s going on in your life!!

We’ve met a couple of different times – the latest was this year at Yanik Silver’s seminar with my friend James “The Stealth Copywriter” from Florida.

I loved our conversation about the weight loss industry, my network of weight loss sites, your membership site, etc…. I hope that we get a chance to continue that talk about you & your journey!!

I don’t post personally on many blogs, and when I do – it’s because I believe strongly in something or someone ….. and in this case, that special someone is……. “YOU” !!!!!

Remember when you get on an airplane, and they tell you to put on the mask first to take care of yourself before you try to take care of others!! Well, you need to do just that!!

Take Care of yourself – expand your horizons – and FLY FREE like you already are!! Write sales letters for people you like and want to write for and let your spirit fly free!!

You have such an amazing way with words!!!!! And you have such a free spirit, that THE WORLD IS YOURS FOR THE ASKING!!!

As for trying to help other people, I’ve learned a long time ago that those you try to help for free, NEVER WORKS OUT!! I tried that many times over, and I’m still guilty of it sometimes today, because I still think that I can make a difference in someone’s life!!!

But what I learned is that “I DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES!!! BUT ONLY FOR THOSE WHO WANT ME TO DO SO!!!” What I learned is that no matter how hard some one says they want some thing, they have to put ACTION TO THEIR WANTS before they really do truly want it!!! Otherwise, it’s just a WISH FOR SOMETHING – NOT A TRUE WANT!!

Keep contributing your energy to the world, and your world will continue to bless you!!!!

I read your post where you were going to possibly post your goals on your blog, but I never saw them there!! I’d love to see them, and I’d love to help hold you accountable!!!

If you ever come back to Central Florida again, and you want to visit the Cocoa Beach area, I have a home about 10 minutes from where the Space Shuttles take off. Plan a trip around a launch date, and me, my wife and kids will show it to you by boat or right there on the beach where you can hear the sound and feel the rumble of the take off. It’s an amazing thing that I get to just walk out side and watch right here on the beach.

Have a Wonderful birthday later this month!!!!!! And keep being that special person that everyone loves here on your blog and in real life !!!

Until we meet again,

I can’t tell you how good you made me feel. THANK YOU.

Seriously, coming from you that means a LOT. I can count on one hand the people I really hardcore respect that I’ve met through Internet Marketing, and you’re one of them.

(Obviously I think of you as more than an Internet Marketing person now, but just saying. )

You’re completely right about the whole “too nice” and “handouts seldom work” thing. I guess it’s just something I have to keep fine-tuning.

It’s kind of like with the whole money thing… do you buy anything you want because we live in a world of abundance, or do you scale it down because that’s responsible (but possibly putting you in a scarcity mindset)?

…I’ll eventually get it right.

And my dream isn’t going to come true because you’re going to get your dream house in San Diego!

(Or the farm in Hawaii. )

You rock Jason!

Best,
Rach

I think it’s awesome that your heart is in the right place and you want to help so many people.

But sadly, people need to learn to help themselves first many times. I’m sure you’ve learned this by giving all that stuff away and seeing little to nothing in return. And heck, all you wanted was a feel good story, not $5000.

That’s too bad.

But you, are too good!

You have tons to offer the world, and the people in it. And for you to cater to those that aren’t wiling to make a significant investment in themselves might just drag you down as well.

I too would love to help all those that need help so badly. It’s not my goal to take as much money as possible from each person in business.

However, we do have to remember that we are in business. And the more money we make, the more amazing things we can do for those people in need.

Handouts seldom work.

And being too nice often holds you down.

Now that’s not to say you should be a greedy wench, but I’m confident that more people in the world will get more value out of what you do by accordingly pricing your services with what they are truly worth.

More people will take action. More people will take you seriously. And more people will respect your time.

And hey, time is money.

In fact, time is 1000 times better then money.

Cheers,

Jason

PS: Sure wish that dream you had would come true!
